FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
North Arkansas College and Clinton High School have partnered to provide students with options to earn college credit while still in high school. Students can get the most out of concurrent enrollment with a curated list of courses that lead to earning a Certificate in General Studies or an Associate of Applied Science in General Technology from North Arkansas College.
For more information about our high school concurrent classes, please contact Mandy Moore at 870-391-3531 or at mmoore@northark.edu.
For Academic Students: Certificate of General Studies (CGS)
About the Certificate of General Studies: Northark’s CGS is designed to recognize the completion of a general education core of 31 credits. It is both a one-year certificate (that is, it represents what is traditionally one year’s worth of college credits) and, for those who intend to continue with their college education, an intermediate step toward an Associate of Arts Degree. It is designed to meet lower-division requirements in general education for most four-year institutions.
About the Suggested Pathway Below: The following sequence represents a suggested pathway for concurrent high school students to earn Northark’s CGS during their freshman through senior years. ADDITIONALLY, they have the option of taking two subject-specific courses, one during their junior year and another during their senior year, that can make this an introductory pathway for their chosen college major as well. Or they could use those two slots to take additional general courses toward earning the Associate of Arts. Classes for the subject-specific option can be targeted based on a combination of available faculty at CHS who are qualified to teach college courses (a determination that Northark will help to guide) and Northark’s remote and online course offerings.
